It is part of the Government's aim
to use ICT more effectively in supplying teachers
and learners with high quality electronic and digital
support materials, particularly in the development
of e_mail and video conferencing.
Current information and communication technology
should be able to 'support, enhance, and
extend' the development of more effective
teaching and learning in MFL quite effectively.
According to Sonia Jurich (MAPE Focus on MFL, Newman
College, 2003), ICT
promotes:
| Multi-sensory
stimuli |
- |
Visual, auditory,
and kinaesthetic |
- |
Speaking / listening / reading
/ writing |
| Motivation |
- |
Various types of activity
to maintain interest (able to cater for differing
styles of learning) |
| Collaborative
learning |
- |
Fluency developed through
group learning |
| Cultural
Understanding |
- |
Bridging physical and cultural
distances |
| Self-expression |
- |
Exploring and developing
creativity |
| |

|
| ict supporting MFL teaching and learning
in Primary Schools |
|
| |
| When given the facilities
and the right environment, young learners seem particularly
adept at making posters, passports,
quizzes, reports
and comics using digital cameras,
video clips of their own scenarios, adding own dialogues,
e-mailing children in other schools
around the world, video conferencing, working with
each other, being creative, etc. - basically at putting
their own learning to authentic use. |

Review:
"Makes usual classroom games look much more professional,
and gives teachers ideas for varying revision activities
and introducing humour and fun into practice sessions.
Very reasonably priced for a product which could
be used for every single lesson in some way."
Contains many 5 to 10 minute activities suitable
for pairwork or as a whole class activity, and over
20 games (most of which can be used in different
ways).
